It well looks like that a December release date for both the Pokémon Z and GO release date is out of the question for now but fans will only need to wait for a couple months as a new report claims that the actual rollout is happening February 2016. And there are tons of things to get excited about.
The upcoming instalment of the Pokémon gaming franchise that is coming out early next is all worth the wait, Master Herald said in a report. Come February, Pokémon Z and GO will launch simultaneously with the report adding that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company intend to deliver the latter title as free download. Yes, playing and experiencing Pokémon GO, which reports said will introduce augmented reality or AR platform in mainstream gaming, will not cost a dime.
If getting Pokémon GO totally free is not exciting enough, the servings that come with the app should prove the real deal. As noted by Master Herald, GO represents "many interesting opportunities for social interactions and exciting gameplay moments," with AR as the highlight.
"The mobile game will give players the opportunity to go hunting for Pokémon creatures in real life by using their mobile devices," the report said, noting too that the game title is likely to debut with the Pokémon GO Plus device that is optimized for playing in the augmented reality sphere.
Essentially, GO will function is the Pokémon Z companion app that has stand-alone features but with full access on the features packed with the main game title. For a clearer perspective, Master Herald likened the Pokémon Z-GO tandem with that of the Fallout 4, which came out bundled with the mobile app Pip Boy.
And the Pokémon GO that will unpack in February is just the beginning as the app is expected to evolve further and bring in more thrilling features in future iterations, the report said.
As for the Pokémon Z, the meaty details remain cloaked in mystery though the narrative seems focus on Zygarde as the chief mon and supported by Pokémon X and Y legends Xerneas and Yveltal. And the latest rumors suggest that Volcanion, touted as the first Fire and Water mon is coming on board with the Z pack in time for the speculated February 2016 release date.
